Hi,
There's a bikeshed about how site link should be spelled: with or without
space.
Currently almost all messages in the Wikibase software say sitelink, and
so does the Wikidata glossary [1]
A counter-argument is that site link is a better English expression that

Where are the names of those units translated at the moment?
If these are MediaWiki messages, grammar rules for them can be added fairly
easily. If I can see where they are now, I could probably make a quite demo
